💖 PACEMAKER(8) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the System Administration Utilities girlies club ✨ this one's a manual page for pacemaker, part of the Pacemaker cluster resource manager, and yes it's giving very serious-sysadmin energy but we're gonna make it cute 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

Pacemaker — it's literally part of the Pacemaker cluster resource manager, that's the whole vibe 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pacemakerd [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So pacemakerd is the primary Pacemaker daemon — the main character, honestly 👑 — and what it does is launch and monitor all the subsidiary Pacemaker daemons. Like a group chat moderator but for daemons. It's mother 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

🎀 Help Options:

  • -h, --help — shows you the help options, cute and simple ✨
  • --help-all — shows you all the help options, the full dump, no skips 💯
  • --help-output — shows the output help, for when you wanna know about output specifically 🔍

🌈 Output Options:

  • --output-as=FORMAT — tells it what output format you want, and your choices are: text (the default, iykyk) or xml 📝
  • --output-to=DEST — tells it where to put the output — give it a file name, or use - for stdout bestie 💖

🔥 Application Options:

  • -$, --version — displays the software version and then dips, exit stage left 💀
  • -V, --verbose — turns up the debug output, and the way you can specify this multiple times?? stack it, layer it, go off king 👑
  • -F, --features — displays the full version and lists all the features Pacemaker was built with, it's giving receipts 🧾✨
  • -f, --foreground — (Ignored) — no cap, Pacemaker always runs in the foreground, so this flag is literally just there being decorative 🙈
  • -p, --pid-file=FILE — (Ignored) — daemon pid file location, except it's ignored, so... yeah 🫠
  • -S, --shutdown — instructs Pacemaker to shut down on this machine, bye bestie 👋💀
  • -s, --standby — starts the node in standby state, chilling, waiting, main character energy 🛋️⭐
💜 quick reminder that -f and -p are marked (Ignored) in the docs — so don't come for me if they don't do anything, that's canon, not me being sloppy 🙏
